  • Pandemic Influenza “Flu”
    TOWN OF GREENWICH DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH G REENWICH Greenwich, Connecticut 06830 Greenwich, 101 D Field Point Road Point Field EPARTMENT OF A Resource Guide to Prepare for Pandemic Influenza “Flu” While natural or man-made disasters and terrorist attacks cannot be H controlled, we can take measures to prepare ourselves for emergencies. EALTH The transmission of the avian influenza A virus H5N1 to humans from domestic poultry in Asian countries has awakened us to the fact that emerging infectious diseases are a serious public health threat of the 21st century. As the lead public health agency in Greenwich, the Department of Health is coordinating planning activities with state and federal health agencies to prepare for any possible influenza pandemic. In an effort to assist with the challenges that an influenza pandemic might bring, this guide lists some helpful steps that you and your family can follow. Although the information contained in this guide is specific for an influenza outbreak, much of what is outlined can be applied to other disasters. After reading this brochure, we hope that you will create a family pandemic flu plan. By making preparations in advance, you will feel more confident in your decisions. Make it a priority to gather the items your family will need for a Flu Care Kit and keep this guide in an accessible location so you can refer to it when needed. While government does its part in preparing for public health emergencies, individual action and responsibility is needed. By working together, potential health threats can be identified and a coordinated community response can be achieved.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.
